Roasted Pears with Brown Sugar and Vanilla Ice Cream

每次想到西洋梨，就會聯想到法國菜，不知原因。我在法國餐廳吃過一次紅酒熬煮西洋梨配上香草冰淇淋，味道很棒，所以今天就來做道烤西洋梨當飯後甜點吧。
做法很簡單，從準備到烤好大約一小時，雖然食譜上說烤35分鐘，但每個西洋梨的大小和熟度不同，所以時間需要自己斟酌，我這次烤了大概45分鐘。我們今天晚餐吃的晩，所以就沒加香草冰淇淋，當你做的時候，記得加一球香草冰淇淋，那冰涼的冰淇淋配上溫熱香甜的西洋梨，在嘴裡的滋味還真是好吃的難以形容喔。

六人份材料如下：

1/3 cup apple juice
1/3 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 firm brown Bosc pears, peeled, halved, cored (about 1 pound)
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Arrange the pears cut side up in an 8-inch square glass baking dish. Whisk the apple juice and sugar in a small heavy saucepan over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves. Whisk in the butter. Pour the sauce over the pears. Bake until the pears are crisp-tender and beginning to brown, basting occasionally with the juices, about 35 minutes.

Spoon the pears onto plates. Top with ice cream. Drizzle with any juices and serve.

The pears can also be served frozen. To do so, cool the pears, then place them in the freezer until frozen solid, about 8 hours.
